A conservative political activist who has been deeply entrenched in right-wing politics for decades is calling on the government to implement safety guardrails on artificial intelligence (AI), especially when it comes to protecting children and ensuring that the booming technology doesn’t displace American workers en masse.
„If something happens with one of these companies, whether it’s a child taking their own life due to suicide by manipulation with a chatbot, these companies are not required to report it to the federal government,“ Amy Kremer told Fox News Digital.
Kremer is the chairwoman of Humans First, a gorup that advocates for government safeguards on the technology and says it gives the American people a voice in the AI conversation, rather than leaving all the power in the hands of what it calls „Big AI globalists“ who have little concern for ordinary Americans.

„We are a grassroots organization focused on putting guardrails and safety mechanisms in place around AI technology in order to protect the American people, our children, jobs and so forth, and also to put those guardrails in place to to make sure that the people have a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation about what goes into their community,“ Kremer said.
Kremer, who is known by the political right for her time as a Tea Party advocate and ferocious fighter for President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, mentioned the 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University, which claimed the lives of two people and injured six others, as an instance of AI gone wrong.
Court documents in that case claim that the alleged shooter, Phoenix Ikner, used ChatGPT to plan aspects of the shooting. The company was sued by the wife of one of the deceased victims, and the state of Florida took the rare step of opening a criminal investigation into the company.
„If a chatbot is used in planning a school shooting like what happened at Florida State University in April of 2025, they’re not required to report that to the federal government,“ said Kremer. „The only reason we know about a number of these things that have happened is because of lawsuits that have been filed by the victims and/or their families.“
She argued that as a former flight attendant, she had to report every issue on an airliner to the government. And just as hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and hordes of other industries are regulated under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Kremer believes that AI companies should face similar scrutiny.

AI is a hotly-contested issue ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with some Democrats looking to reign in the technology while the Trump administration hoping to keep competition and innovation flowing in the effort to win the AI race with China.
But Kremer is far from a Democrat, and she wants also wants the United States to crush China in the race for technological dominance.
„I want America to win this AI race, I absolutely I do. I’m America first, always have been, and we’ve led the world on innovation and ingenuity,“ she said. „But again … I go back to, you don’t have to forego safety to have innovation and ingenuity.“
„I’m not siding with the Democrats,“ Kremer said. „I am not a tech person. I’m not anti-AI. I’m not anti-technology. I’m not anti-data center.“
„I am a mom with common sense and I’m a conservative, and it only makes sense that guardrails are put in place,“ she added.
After all, Kremer said, AI companies aren’t partisan actors.
TRUMP’S AI RACE WITH CHINA COULD BECOME THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF OUR TIME
„They don’t care about Republicans, they don’t care about Democrats, they don’t care about Americans. At the end of the day, I think they care about their own companies and their technology, and that’s what, what drives them,“ she said. „And so, everything with these guys I think is contractual, you know, it’s not, ‘these are my friends, these are the people, I have the same ideology.’ It’s contractual, it’s what benefits them and I think that’s why they’ve cozied up to President Trump and Republicans in this administration and Congress.“
In a high-stakes summit in Washington, D.C., last week, AI was a hot topic of discussing between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump, though what exactly was discussed remains under wraps.
„The Trump administration’s priority is to ensure there is a booming economy so that workers have many opportunities and experience limited volatility from any short-term disruptions,“ a White House official told Fox News Digital. „The goal is for workers to continue to have access to high paying jobs and that workers can easily adapt to new technologies and processes.“

As for children’s safety, the official pointed Fox News Digital to its National Policy Framework on Artificial Intelligence.
That framework calls on Congress to implement a number of AI child safety measures, including empowering parents with tools to control their children’s content exposure, privacy settings, content exposure and account controls.
It also asks the lawmaking body to „establish commercially reasonable, privacy protective, age assurance requirements (such as parental attestation) for AI platforms and services likely to be accessed by minors,“ and ensure that AI platforms implement safeguards against child sexual exploitation and self-harm.
